Daniels Park Road, between Griggs Road and Castle Pines Parkway, was closed Oct. 23 and will remain so through the remainder of the year for road-surface improvements. Motorists are being redirected to take Monarch Boulevard.<\/p>\n
The existing gravel road within Daniels Park will be paved in asphalt and the county\u2019s improvements include the addition of more curves, which are intended to slow down speeding motorists.<\/p>\n
The project is part of phase two of Douglas and Denver counties\u2019 park-improvement plan, per a 2008 agreement between the two counties. It is expected to take until spring 2018 for all work to be completed.<\/p>\n
The cooperative agreement is necessary because Denver Mountain Park System owns Daniels Park and Douglas County owns Daniels Park Road. The improvements are a part of what is being called the Phase 2 improvement. It will also include construction of a nearly mile-long soft-surface trail along the road and the addition of 36 parking spaces in the park.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Daniels Park Road, between Griggs Road and Castle Pines Parkway, was closed Oct. 23 and will remain so through the remainder of the year for road-surface improvements.
